The FBI crime statistics report is fascinating. I posted on my facebook a couple of links showing the violent crime rate since 2002 (decling each year), the homicide rate (down 10% overall and 16% per 100,000 population), and the methods used in homicides by state, rifles are at about 3% or something. Whoever it was that had that chart earlier got me hooked on the stats, I don't copy the chart just paste the links. Most of my gun-grabber "friends" have given up and moved on to other topics.
